American Agriculturlst.
There is a great q ference of opinion
as to where grove should be located,
some preferring the hummocks, Others
pine lands; but we think that pine land
will be found TO give the greater satisfac-
ton in the end. The hummocks are
richer, and the trees will do we'll for
awhile without fertilizers; out the ma
tive fertility of the soil is exhausted In
time, and then the trees require con-
stantly increasing amount OF cultiva-
ton. Pine lands are not so rich to start
with, but by JudicIOus cultivation and
fertilIzIDg, they improve In quality from
year TO year. The orange tree VIII grow
on a great variety of soils, but high pine
land and high hummocks are considered
the most desirable. Low lands are gen.
orally richer but more subject to frost,
and unless well protected by surround
ing forests or some artificial windbreak,
the trees will fare badly some winters.
In preparing hummock land for a grove,
the roots of all underground should be
thoroughly removed 10y gTubbing, but
most OF the live oak trees should be left
standing protection TO the orange
trees from the hot suns of summer and
the occasional frOsts of winter. In pre-
pairing pine land, Il ere Is seldom any
thing to remove but the pines and they
may be cut down, and the stumps left To
decay in time or be burnt or cut out; the
trees may be girdled and left standing to
fall of themselves or be cut down later;
or, what il better than either, the trees
may be burned out by digging a large
hole on the leaning side, and keeping a
fire burning against them until they
come crashing down; the timber is then
hauled away To the mills, burned on the
ground, or. as some prefer, piled in
wind rows and left to rot. Ii there are
any scrub oaks, saw palmettos, ETC.,
they should be- grubbed out and burned.

The wind has turned austere and cold;
And. borne upon the funeral blast,
The first dead leafs poor corpse behold
Last month the land was gemued with sheaveS.
And clothed in multirudinous green;
Now shivering under waning leaves,
The burrows cape, the forests lean
The years warm soul, the honest sun,
Is swOouing; more and more We see
The silent landscapes skeleton,
The Woodlands grim anatomy.

The election came on at time when of all
others it behooved the Anarchists to make
the very best possible showing. The
strength of that following was to be de-
monstrated by its ballots at the polls, and
now, after all the threatening by the dyna-
miters, and all the fears of cowardly mer-
chants and narrou-minded ministerial
apologists for Anarchist murderers, it turns
out that all the rascally, lawless crew
could muster under the Black flag was
beggarly total of 5000 and odd votes. OF
this number probably 1000 are straight
out Anarchists, 1000 Socialists, and 1000
lawless wretches, who are for neither on
principle, and attach themselves to the
dynamite crew with nothing in view but
the hope of plumber.

A HIGHLY SENSIBLE DECISION The
Louisville Courier Journal says: The Ken
lucky Court of Appeals has rendered an
important decision. While under the in
huence of liquor man committed q muir
der, tor which he was convicted and sen
fenced to death. He had pleaded his in
toxicetieD in defense on the trial, and the
appeal to the highest tribunal turned on
this plea. The Court affirmed the decision.
and rejected absolutely the doctrine that
drunkenness could be any excuse for crime
Our statute said the Court, makes it an
offense. and one crime should not privilege
another" As the Court also declared that
drunkenness is by far the most fruitful
source of crime in our State" decision
that it cannot be pleaded in excuse of any
crime committed by man while in that
condition is a hopeful sign in common
wealth where the administration of Justice
has fallen into sad disrepute.

THE effort is being made to declare
Lingg, the bomb-making murderer in the
Chicago Jail, insane. 1t will probably
amount to nothing. Lingg is as sane to-
day as on the 4th of May, 1886, when he
was cunning enough and sane enough to
plot and work out the assassination of
seven policemen and the wounding of
twenty-nine others, eleven of whom are
disabled for life, in consequence. The
kind Of insane men Lingg represents, are
too sane to be turned over to the insecur-
ity of mad-house-the best use to make
of that kind of beings is to hang them,
that other vicious cranks may experience
the wholesome restraint Of fear.

dollars annually. Engineers of eminence
declare that the cutting to the sea level
cannot be completed in decade, and some
GO so far as to deny that the cutting can be
made at all upon the sea level. DeLesseps
promised that over 100000 meters of earth
should be excayated monthly; the fact is
that for the entire year of 1886 only 60S,-
600 meters were dug out, while in some
thing less than the first half of 1887 only
100000 meters were taken out. In the
Culebra division, the most difficult section
of the work, there are 100000 meters of
excavation alone, yet not one-third of that
amount has been taken out, and at the
present rate of progress it will take sixteen
years to cut through the section. 1t looks
very much as if DeLesseps is in corner

The Improvement Association of this
city unanimously Endorsed the sugges-
ton to invite Spreckels & Co., to locate
one OF their beet-sugar crushing, pressing

Committee on Manufactures, to which the
subject was referred. reported promptly
IN favor Of consulting with Spreckels &

been received from Mr.. Claus Spreckels
That he will meet the committee to
consider the subject No inducements
will bring manufacturers to us, except we
can show them that they can do as we'll or

1t can be shown that the advantage is on
their side. The lands contiguous to Sacra-

to engage in such cultivation. Sacramento

The presentation of sword to General
Nelson A. Miles by the people of Arizona,
as token of the esteem in which he is
held in that Territory, was fitting COM
pliment to brave man and skillful
officer in the army. The people of
Arizona owe General Miles much for
suppressing the Geronimo outbreak, and
securing the Territory comparative, if not
absolute, immunity from the assaults of the
Indians of the section. The ceremonial
at Tucson on the occasion Of the presenta-
ton took on the form of a popular demon
stration, being marked by a great civic
parade of imposing proportions, review
of the procession by the General, and an
eloquent address to him. His response in
accepting the gift was an extended review
Of the Indian situation in Arizona,
sketch of his theory and practice in deal
ing with the savages, and glance of the
future for Arizona. Some of the utter
ances of General Miles in this address are
of especial value, as the result of his ex-
perience with the Indian tribes, and in
dicating what is unquestionably now &C
cepted as the true policy of dealing with
hostile redskins-their disarmament and
the removal of the leaders to far distant
sections of the country.
